Add comprehensive documentation across DTail codebase

Documented all major Go packages and command-line tools with comprehensive
comments explaining functionality, architecture, and usage patterns.

Major documentation additions:
- All cmd/ binaries with detailed package descriptions and main function docs
- Core internal packages: config, protocol, clients, server, mapr, discovery
- File system operations, error handling, and version management
- Complete API documentation for all public interfaces
- Architecture insights and component relationships

Benefits:
- Improved developer onboarding and maintainability
- Clear understanding of distributed architecture
- Proper Go documentation format for godoc compatibility
- Enhanced troubleshooting through error categorization
- Comprehensive API reference for all client types

-// CatClient is a client for returning a whole file from the beginning to the end.
+// CatClient provides distributed file reading functionality, retrieving complete
+// file contents from beginning to end across multiple servers simultaneously.
+// Unlike TailClient which monitors for new content, CatClient reads existing
+// file contents and terminates when complete.
+//
+// Key features:
+// - Simultaneous reading of files across multiple servers
+// - Complete file content retrieval from start to finish
+// - No regex filtering support (files are read in their entirety)
+// - Immediate termination after reading (no continuous monitoring)
+// - Efficient handling of large files through streaming
+//
+// CatClient embeds CommonClient to inherit standard connection management,
+// SSH authentication, and command generation capabilities.

-// NewCatClient returns a new cat client.
+// NewCatClient creates a new CatClient configured for distributed file reading.
+// This constructor validates the configuration and sets up the client for
+// one-time file content retrieval operations.
+//
+// Parameters:
+//   args: Complete configuration arguments including servers, files, and options
+//
+// Returns:
+//   *CatClient: Configured client ready to start file reading operations
+//   error: Configuration error if regex is specified (not supported for cat operations)
+//
+// Configuration validation:
+// - Ensures no regex pattern is specified (cat reads entire files)
+// - Sets operating mode to CatClient
+// - Disables automatic connection retry (one-time operation)
+// - Initializes connections to all discovered servers
+//
+// The returned client is fully initialized and ready to call Start().
